Default Wheel lock question

Hello all.

So my mechanic when he put my 35s on tell me he have me back the wheel lock key for my tires. However. I'm pretty sure he didn't. And now I can't find it. Since I refuse to go back there.

Any suggestions on how I can get these wheel locks off.? I need to get my tires balance badly.

Thanks.

You can either call the company that produced the locks and pay to have a new key sent
or ive seen these type of sockets that have teeth on them that you may be able to get the wheel lock off with

or get one of these



And use a hammer and pound it onto the lug nut and then spin it off.

Took me 5 minutes to do all 4 on my TJ when i lost the key.
